Reports in the peninsula suggest that Roma defender Matteo Ferrari will sign a deal with Milan at the end of the season.

The 28-year-old stopper hasn’t regularly commanded a place in Luciano Spalletti’s side this term and is considering his options with his contract set to expire in June.

A story in Rome’s Il Tempo newspaper this morning states that Ferrari’s agent has been in early discussions with the Rossoneri over a possible free transfer switch.

It is believed that the Giallorossi have tabled an extension offer worth around £1m a year, but Milan are expected to blow that sum out of the water.

There are suggestions that the world champions would be willing to pay Ferrari £1.6m annually and provide the security of a four-year deal.

Ferrari has 11 Azzurri caps and has made 62 appearances for Roma since moving to the Eternal City in 2004, despite a loan spell at Everton.

I for one, am completely against this move. If he arrived he would maybe only be better than Simic. We should look for Barzagli if we are gonna buy a defender

But we know how Milan like their free transfers, so this is a possibility

Are we really talking about Panucci? He's 34 years old and will be 35 next season... in my view, we don't need a CB or a LB to replace Maldini. For the simple reason that it's not Maldini the player we will miss but Maldini the captain, the leader, the God... we need a new leader and that I think Kaka can be.

We're not going to splash big money on a defender this summer I believe. In my view, we should bring Darmian on, buy Zambrotta and Castellini and sell Favalli.

Panucci would be great, he's a true Milanista by heart - resistant of the ageing process. But yes, a bit too old. Sell Favalli? You mean release,..who would want to buy that player? Only maybe in some second class transfer swap. But yes, you're totally right. And don't forget about Lino, we should either bring him on or sell him..
